Jackson Hitz developed a comprehensive in-game tutorial system for the MegaKill-ULTRA repository, focusing on onboarding new players through a modular, state-machine-driven progression. Using C# and Unity, Jackson implemented gameplay scripting and UI feedback to guide users through core mechanics such as movement, combat, and item interaction, culminating in a clear completion state. The tutorial system was designed for scalability, enabling future expansion and rapid iteration. In subsequent work, Jackson addressed stability by fixing tutorial loading and state progression issues, as well as resolving rendering glitches, thereby improving onboarding reliability and ensuring a smoother first-run experience for new users.
